Precambrian Geology


Book Description

Barbara, Meader, and Pifher townships lie on the eastern side of Lake Nipigon and cover an area of 240 sq km. Field work was carried out during the summer of 1986 and consisted of mapping the Precambrian bedrock and mineral deposits. A large number of rock samples were collected, of which 94 were submitted for assays, principally gold and silver, 95 for thin sectioning and 54 for whole rock analysis. This report describes the geology, mineral deposits and exploration history of the area, as well as specific mines.

Precambrian Geology of Finland


Book Description

Focusing on the Precambrian in the central part of the Fennoscandian Shield, the book combines the results from modern geological and geophysical research into a detailed petrologic, lithologic, and structural synthesis and interpretation of the Archean and Proterozoic of Finland. It will be of value to anyone interested in the evolution of the shield in particular and in Precambrian geology in general.




Precambrian: Conterminous U.S.


Book Description

This wide-ranging discussion of Precambrian rocks includes contributions from a diverse array of authors actively engaged in investigations of various aspects of U.S. Precambrian geology. Summary discussions by the editors of the five major chapters place these contributions in a logical regional framework.
